High School Valentine Deliveries! All deliveries must be made to the High School Safe Room. Also, please keep in mind that many of our students (upper classmen) are not on campus an entire day - they either attend KTC, have work study or an abbreviated schedule. If a delivery is made later than 11:15, there is a good chance those students will not receive their deliveries until tomorrow. Happy Valentine's Day from Valliant High School!

FCCLA Regional STAR event competition was held yesterday at the Pontotoc County Fairgrounds. Valliant had 4 entries, and all 4 entries medaled. Lily Smith, an 8th grader, received 1st in Repurpose and Redesign for her project that used non-recycable materials, candy wrappers and drink pouches, to create a dress. She will continue her journey at State in March. Kylie Dickenson, an 8th grader, received 1st in Focus on Children. She taught 6th graders how to recognize depression in themselves and others and coping mechanisms for stress. She will also continue her journey at State. Mackalynn Dansby, a junior, received 2nd in Teach or Train. She taught 1st graders about body positivity and the effect of words. Her score was high enough to move her on to State also. Gracey Breshears and Aleya Jones, both sophomores, received 2nd in Interpersonal Communications. They did a project at our high school to spread positivity through spoken word and positive affirmations. They also had to complete a case study at the competition.

There is no danger to students. Reminder that Monday, January 15th is a holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
